PLEAE READ:

**I wanted to give this chapter a title. But just this chapter. All rights to Mr. Brightside belong to The Killers. I recommend listening to the song before reading this!**

Chapter 10: Mr. Brightside

"Hey Kitty." Katniss jumps out of my arms and into Cato's. She presses her lips against his and runs her hands through his hair. She grinds her hips against his and he groans. "My place?" Katniss nods and they run out of the school.

"What the fuck just happened?" Gale asks.

"I'm about to find out." I run after them and get in Katniss's car and follow Cato's car.

I thought she wanted to break up with him. He raped her. Can a kiss really make her forget all of this? I told her I love her and I meant it. That kiss we shared couldn't have meant nothing. Something strange is going on here.

Cato's car stops in front of an apartment building. I park across the street while they go inside. Soon after a light turns on and I see Katniss smiling at Cato through the window.

Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick. Is this all in my head?

She's touching his chest now.

He takes off her dress now.

Get me out of here! I just can't look because it's killing me and taking control. This is what I get for not talking to her all those years. Maybe this is destiny telling me I shouldn't be with her?

This all started out with a kiss. How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss.

It was only a kiss.

I've been watching them make out for what seems like hours.

Now I'm falling asleep.

She's touching his chest now. He takes off her dress now. Get me out of here! Is this all in my head?

Katniss looks out the window and smirks. She grins and shouts, "You should have done me when you had the chance, Peeta. Peeta…Peeta… Peeta…"

I wake up and Katniss has tears in her eyes. "Katniss?"

"Peeta you fell asleep. You kept shifting in your sleep and you wouldn't wake up." Katniss wipes her eyes and adjusts her dress.

"Oh." I say sadly. Thank God it was only a dream. Shit. My brothers always told me that I talked in my sleep. That's why they know about Katniss...sometimes I would get a little excited in my dreams. "Did I say anything?"

"No, why?"

"Uh, sometimes I talk in my sleep." I mumble.

She laughs. "Why would it matter what you were saying?" I open my mouth and close it again. Should I tell her? "It was about me wasn't it?" Katniss smirks.

"Yeah, but not like that." Shit. "Uh, well kind of like that, but not- damn, it's hard to explain."

"Well your little friend wasn't present so I'll take your word for it." She laughs and I roll my eyes. "So what happened?"

"You went off with Cato and you guys, uh, did, things." I can't look into her eyes when I say this.

"Peeta I'm done with Cato. I don't want anything to do with him anymore. Whatever happened in your dream, I'm sorry." I don't say anything. "What do you want from me?" She says in a low voice.

I have Katniss pinned down on the couch before she can even blink. My fingers are on her hips. I lean into her and kiss her lips. Hands tug through my hair and I my tongue finds its own way into her mouth, my lips slanted over hers. Katniss digs her fingers into my shoulders. I lift her up and carry her upstairs. I go into the bedroom that is vacant and lock the door. My lips never leave hers.

My fingers skim under her stomach and I nearly tripped trying to get to the bed. It smells like wood and pine, but I can barely smell anything but Katniss.

My lips make their way down her jawline. My breathing is heavy and something deep in my throat rumbles when she runs her fingers down my spine. I shove her dress half way up her stomach, our skin is pressed against each other's and my hands are roaming everywhere. "Peeta." Katniss whispers as I reach for the zipper of her dress and rip it off of her. I groan when her chest rubs against my bare chest.

My heart is beating a million miles an hour and I hope she can feel it just so she knows the way I am around her. My pants are all of the sudden to tight. I peel them off and am left in my boxers. Katniss gasps when I brush my hips against her bare thighs. I moan as her fingers are on the waistband of my boxers.

Even though she may not love me back, should I still have sex with her? Are we going to go that far?

"Peeta?" The voice isn't Katniss's. I look up and see Gale standing in the doorway with his hand on the light switch. His mouth is wide open. "What the fuck?"

I'm filled with rage. "Get the hell out Gale!"

"Fine, I'll leave."

I sigh. "What did you want?" Gale looks over Katniss's near naked body and my jaw clenches. I throw a pillow over Katniss and push Gale outside and close the door behind us.

"Jesus forgive me." He rubs his eyes. I slap him on the back of his head.

"What did you want?"

"Oh." He holds out my phone and I take it from him. "You left this in the car and I forgot to give it to you. Your dad called."

"Fuck." I run my hand through my hair.

Gale laughs. "That was some position you were in there."

I punch his shoulder and tell him to go away. He closes the door to his room. I dial my dad's number and go back into the bedroom with Katniss. She gives me a questioning look. "Hello?"

"Hey dad, it's me." I say. Katniss's eyes widen and she buries her face in her hands.

I don't even listen to half the things he says, not that it matters. After he takes a break, I say, "I'll see you in the morning, dad." I hang up before he can say anything else. "Sorry about that." I sit next to Katniss and wrap my arms around her tiny body.

"Do you even want to continue?" She mumbles.

I laugh and kiss her head. "Of course."

damn you, gale.
